Deepika Padukone in Talks for Mythological Epic Mahavatar

Deepika Padukone is reportedly in early stages of discussion with Maddock Films for a pivotal role in the upcoming mythological epic, 'Mahavatar'. The film, announced in November 2024 and directed by Amar Kaushik, will reportedly see Padukone starring opposite Vicky Kaushal, who is set to portray the immortal warrior Parashurama.

Sources suggest that Padukone's visit to Maddock's office last month fueled speculation, with insiders now claiming her discussions are specifically for 'Mahavatar'. The filmmakers are seeking an actress who can bring substantial gravitas and emotional depth to a character designed to have equal narrative footing with Parashurama.

While the film is still in pre-production and casting is not finalized, this potential project marks a significant collaboration. If finalized, 'Mahavatar' would be the first time Padukone and Kaushal share the screen. An official confirmation from the production house or Padukone's representatives is still awaited.
